ABOUT THIS LIVESTREAM:
Ashland, VA, in Central Virginia, is located on the CSX RF&P Subdivision, the former Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad, and is about 15 miles north of Richmond. The town gets over 20 Amtrak passenger trains and 20-25+ CSX freight trains daily. It's a designated quiet zone, but the crew can use the horns at their discretion. The maximum speed for trains passing through the town's center is 35 miles per hour (MPH).

There are 3 cameras available. The default camera is an Axis 360 located on top of the Visitor's Center (train station), and 2 static cameras facing North and South on the other side of the intersection. Links to all 3 cameras are in this description.

Tiny Tim's Trains and Toys Store is awesome and well worth a visit. It's hiding behind that tree across the tracks on the south cam. Tell Suzanne and crew we
There is no ATCS layout (and no server coverage) available for the RF&P Sub.

Watch live rail traffic through Ashland's historic downtown corridor. Multiple camera angles capture frequent Amtrak and CSX freight movements on a busy section of the former Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac line. Action ranges from passenger service to heavy freight, all at restricted speeds through this quiet zone. A true railfan's window into daily operations on Central Virginia's main line.
